Summary: | "Northern Hemisphere fields of mean cloudiness were constructed using TIROS nephanalyses for the late-fall seasons (Oct. to Dec.) of 3 years, 1962-64. These may be useful in studies of cloud climatology and year-to-year variations of the earth-atmosphere heat budget; and for designing and testing cloud-modeling procedures in numerical experiments. Shortcomings were revealed in the present subjective nephanalysis documentation which hopefully will soon be corrected by the promising work now going on in digitizing the video pictures."
